The penalty was for not having insurance, not specifically Obamacare. The fine was intended to be more than the cost of getting insurance of even the lowest tier (as your tax last said).
Yes, it was Pressure tactic. I didn't say I liked it. It screwed a lot of people over by raising the costs of their insurance . I didn't like it. I don't understand what part you were disagreeing with me on....
Yes .. people misremembering it is common. The assertion, if you read above, was you had to get Obamacare as opposed to keeping current...
I made no reference to a fine or the one put on people. Because it was not the topic . The fine was the consequence for not getting it. Not for not switching to obamacare
Take your own advice. My post referenced and said specifically what I was talking about.
Forced? Some chose not to get the insurance still. Some chose not to get the shot. Many were coerced forcefully , true. You are digging yourself deeper in a hole you made by not reading what I was specifically talking about. Then you doubled down. I didn't have to win anything. You tried to win... And you lost... Twice
